PRUCALOPRIDE belongs to the group of medicines called gastrointestinal prokinetics used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation. PRUCALOPRIDE acts on the muscle walls of the gut and increases bowel motility. Thereby, helps restore the normal functioning of the bowel and treats constipation. PRUCALOPRIDE helps treat chronic constipation in adults in whom laxatives do not work well. Take PRUCALOPRIDE as prescribed. You are advised to take PRUCALOPRIDE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to you. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Avoid taking PRUCALOPRIDE if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. PRUCALOPRIDE is not recommended for children below 18years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. PRUCALOPRIDE may cause dizziness and tiredness, so drive only if you are alert. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any unpleasant side effects or interactions.
